Raiders say McFadden's ankle will be 'fine'
Darren McFadden - RB - Oakland Raiders

Raiders coach Dennis Allen told reporters Friday that he expects Darren McFadden's ankle to be "fine" after Thursday night's apparent late-game reinjury.
"He was walking around fine," Allen said. "Didn't have a lot of pain. I don't think it's an injury that going to keep him out any time." McFadden has ten days to get his ankle right before the Raiders' next game. Yahoo Sports' Jason Cole reported early Friday that McFadden's ankle was only "tweaked" in the second half of the loss to Denver, and "not as serious" as the injury that previously cost McFadden four games. The Raiders face the Chiefs in Week 15, and it sounds like McFadden should be fine to start.
